a good fit ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 Mission Statement Didi Hirsch transforms lives by providing quality mental health and substance abuse services in communities where stigma or poverty limit access.

There are no extra pieces in the universe. – Deepak Chopra Dear Friends, Puzzles are problems with solutions. What seems di!cult can be done; what were dreams can become reality.

Starting as toddlers, we learn so much from puzzles. Not just visual-spatial and motor skills. We learn that every piece counts. That with patience and trial and error, we can make order out of seeming chaos. We also discover that it’s easier when others help.

This is the essence of the Didi Hirsch family. We try new things. We persevere. We are inter-connecting; we touch each other’s lives. Every employee, client, volunteer and supporter has a place in the big picture.

Although we can’t begin to convey every aspect of the large, three-dimensional world that is Didi Hirsch, we hope this Annual Report gives you a sense of how we all "t together. Last year, we helped more than 57,000 youth, adults and older adults pick up the pieces and put color and order back in their lives.

Where many see failure, shame and futility, we look at mental illness and substance abuse and see problems with solutions.

You were a part of the solution. Without your support we would have been missing a vital piece. Thank you.

Kita S. Curry, Ph.D President/CEO

1 Prevention Specialist Counselor

nnie Ortega is going on her sixth school year as a Prevention Counselor with the Substance Abuse Prevention Department. Ask Annie’s fourth graders about her and they might tell you that she loves lemons. AIn her favorite classroom exercise, Annie hands each student a lemon. Yellow, sour, round, all lemons are the same, right? Really look at it, she tells them. Get to know your lemon. Then Annie collects the lemons, mixes them up, and asks each student to "nd their lemon. Sure enough, everyone spots his or her fruit easily. It’s amazing how di#erent each is when the students take the time to get to know them. Beginning with the common lemon, Annie explores stereotype, prejudice, discrimination as part of the Beyond Bias: Think Peace program. “In my e#ort to teach these very adult, very grown-up concepts, like stereotypes and prejudice, I really try to delve into their lives.”

2 Solving Problems

Annie is one of several prevention counselors at Didi Hirsch shaping the future of Los Angeles youth. Over the last 14 years, they have trained more than 13,000 students as part of the Substance Abuse Prevention department’s program Beyond Bias: Think Peace. Through classroom exercises, discussions, and projects, Think Peace teaches third, fourth and "fth graders the skills they will need to handle con$ict and peer pressure. These skills include: social competency, critical thinking, problem solving, decision-making and autonomy. Armed with these skills, children are better able to cope and thrive in an environment that may present multiple temptations, including substance abuse.

In the last year of elementary school, students are eligible to become Peace Makers, who are taught how to mediate con$ict on their own playgrounds. Each recess, two "fth graders don their Peace Maker shirts and patrol the blacktop helping to settle disputes between their peers. One of the most important components of the program is helping students develop a sense of purpose and future. It’s not uncommon for a second grader to con"de in Ms. Ortega, “My brother was a Peace Maker and I want to be one too.”

3 rica St. Pierre, 23, may seem shy at "rst, but once she begins talking you can’t help but be a#ected by her huge smile. She was 18 when she started Eto hear voices and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Erica spent the next few years in and out of the hospital. It was an isolating time marked by periods of deep depression. One year ago, after another hospitalization, Erica was referred to Didi Hirsch’s Wellness Center in Inglewood. The "rst day she walked into the common room she was nervous. She attended the group meeting and had little to say. Yet Erica returned the next day, and the day after that. Slowly, Erica opened up, and encouraged her peers to do the same. She says group meetings gave her “the encouragement and the feedback of other people who were going through the same thing I was going through.” Through our Employment Services, Erica was hired and trained as a Facilitator for Project Return’s Peer Support Network. Each Tuesday she now leads the group meetings at the Inglewood Wellness Center.

4 Finding a Place to Fit In

TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH

The late teens and early twenties are a trying time for everyone. It is a period of change and growth and confusion as we navigate out of childhood into adulthood. This is also the time when a young person often experiences his or her "rst episode of a mental illness. Our Transitional Age Youth (TAY) program reaches out to 16 to 25 year-olds who may be experiencing the isolation of mental illness. More than 50 attend our Wellness Center in Inglewood. For many, it is one of the few places where they can come and talk about their illness with peers. Known as TAY Day, each Tuesday the Inglewood Wellness Center hums with energy. TAY clients gather for lunch and activities such as art therapy, discussions of current events and outings together. Wellness Center regular Jules Perkins has showcased his musical talents by performing live at the Didi Hirsch Wellness Center Open Mic and Poetry Slam. Didi Hirsch Wellness Centers help TAY clients "nd a way to "t in and grow personally. Lending a Hand

VIA AVANTA

Healthy living begins with a network of support. At Via Avanta, our residential treatment program for women struggling with substance abuse, residents receive support in all aspects of their life—from parenting classes and childcare assistance to chemical dependency and domestic violence counseling. However, this support goes well beyond lectures and meetings and counseling sessions to practical life lessons. As the women prepare to make their way on their own, they learn to "x furniture, prepare resumes and even join community sports’ leagues. This year they will be planting their "rst organic garden. They will reap the rewards of working together while also learning healthier eating habits.

ay Ayala still remembers the "rst time he walked through the front door to Via Avanta over twenty- R"ve years ago. He was an addict. At the time, the residential program was co-ed, and the court had ordered Ray to receive treatment. Ray readily admits that he was scared. He bargained with his wife to take him home, promising that he would never use again. Yet, Ray stayed at Via Avanta for a year. Within that year something clicked. He became sober and realized that he possessed a gift for listening and guiding others. Now a Program Coordinator at Via Avanta, Ray counsels the women and supervises sta#, as he has for 24 years. For many, it is their "rst positive experience with a male. Many also credit him with their recovery. However, in his humble and quiet manner, Ray is quick to brush o# compliments. “Some people have said that I’ve been their mentor but I’m the one that’s learning every day.”

6 Family and Child

Making the holidays joyful at Via Avanta has had special meaning for Jennie Wyatt Coste since she began working there 19 years ago. She remembers how much others’ kindness meant to her when she and her daughter spent the holidays there as clients several years before. Today, Jennie is the Child/Parent Care Coordinator at Via Avanta where she helps residents become better parents. Whether reading together or working on a puzzle, learning to enjoy each other’s company is key. During the holidays, which often are di!cult for families in need, Jennie goes all out. This year, Christmas was a "ve-alarm event. There were the usual goodies to eat, and carols to sing, but as an added surprise the "re department visited with their "re engine and invited the children to climb inside. To top o# the day, Santa Claus— played by Jennie’s teenage son—arrived with bags full of presents. There was a gift for everyone. Array of Services

ERASING the STIGMA 2009 The stigma of mental illness has a profound and lasting effect, whether it is one’s own illness or that of a loved one. Since 1997, our Erasing the Stigma Leadership Awards have honored advocates who have helped change that. The 2009 Awards focused on schizophrenia, the most feared of all mental disorders. Under Committee Chair Cheri Yousem’s stellar leadership, we raised $280,000.

Master of Ceremonies, Comedian Brian Copeland, used humor to describe his own battle with depression. Actor Joey Pantoliano presented Leadership Awards to Elyn Saks and to Shari and Garen Staglin. Joined by surprise guest Steve Lopez, DreamWorks CEO Stacey Snider presented a Beatrice Stern Media Award to Gary Foster.

Author of The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness, Elyn Saks dispelled the stereotypes associated with schizophrenia. She is a Yale graduate, USC law professor and mental health policy expert, despite recurring bouts of psychosis. Elyn poignantly illustrated the isolation that comes with stigma. “When you go to a hospital for a physical illness, people send flowers. When you go to a hospital for a psychiatric illness, they don’t.”

Shari and Garen Staglin’s advocacy began when their son Brandon developed schizophrenia. Garen said, “We had a choice: were we going to run away from this problem or run toward this problem?” Rather than succumbing to stigma, they founded the Staglin Music Festival for Mental Health, which has raised $83 million for mental health research in 14 years. As Brandon joined his parents on stage to thank them for their unwavering support, Garen pledged, “Our commitment to you is—in our lifetime—we will cure these illnesses.”

Producer Gary Foster brought The Soloist to the screen. Based on a memoir by Los Angeles Times correspondent Steve Lopez, it chronicles Steve’s friendship with Nathaniel Ayers, a Julliard-trained musician who was homeless and suffering from schizophrenia. Filming on Skid Row opened Gary’s eyes. “In all the chaos, almost everyone I encountered said ‘Hello’, reached out a hand or smiled as I passed by...I felt comfortable with people who only weeks before I feared...While there is a social divide, there is not a humanistic one.” 14 Stacy Snider Andrew E.

15 ALIVE AND RUNNING 5k Walk/Run

Smiles and hope, these represent the spirit of Alive and Running, Didi Hirsch’s 5K Walk/Run for Suicide Prevention. With smiles and hope, and a lot of sweat, more than a thousand runners and walkers united to foster awareness, remember loved ones and raise funds for our Suicide Prevention Center. Our honored guest, Sheriff Lee Baca, spoke about the importance of suicide prevention and took first place in his age group.

We count on the community to spread the word about the cause, create teams and help out on the day of the race. In 2009, new social networking tools like Facebook and Twitter extended our reach. More than 150 volunteers came out, and we had the biggest team ever.

Kyle Kubachka’s family joined with Cal State University Long Beach’s Nursing Students to put together a team of 281 people in Kyle’s memory. Dedicated supporter Marilyn Nobori brought out her church’s Taiko drum group to jazz up the finish line; she also put together a team of 181 in memory of her daughter Aiko.

With over 51 years saving lives, the Suicide Prevention Center helps more than 35,000 people each year –teaching the warning signs of suicide, offering support to loved ones after a suicide and helping callers in distress through our 24-hour suicide hotline. Alive and Running is a day to smile, hope, and perhaps shed a few tears for loved ones while also making a difference. Working with dedicated friends and committed supporters, Event Chairs Janine Lichstein and Todd Rubin helped raise more than $130,000 to support these life-saving services. Alive and Running is one way to help make certain there are resources available to people in despair, day or night.

Just as food, water and air are essential to life, support from our many donors, friends and funders is essential to the work of Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. We are grateful to all who have given of time and treasure, including the 215 volunteers and future mental health professionals who contributed 15,900 hours of service in the 2008-09 fiscal year. We are committed to using your contributions wisely. Eighty- seven cents out of every dollar is spent on programs.

I personally can attest to the value of your investment in Didi Hirsch. The Suicide Prevention Center helped me endure the indescribable grief of losing my son, Stephen, to suicide. Out of it also came the most meaningful work of my life—from my days as a volunteer on the crisis line to my current service as Board Chair. Nothing is more uplifting than the stories of the clients we have helped begin anew, who might otherwise have given up hope.

If Didi Hirsch is to help the generations to come, in our worldview today, there also must be a vision for the future. Our Legacy Leaders, who are highlighted below, have shown that foresight. By including Didi Hirsch and its programs in their estate plans, they have attended to the future of those they love and those who will need Didi Hirsch many years from now.

On behalf of the Board, Staff and clients, I offer my heartfelt thanks to each and every donor. You make a difference. I hope Didi Hirsch can count on your continued support.

Medical Director Duane E. McWaine, M.D. Transforming Lives Since 1942 The "rst non-pro"t outpatient mental health clinic in Los Angeles County, Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services initially was founded to help adults cope with the aftermath of the Great Depression. Over the years, we have evolved in response to the needs of our increasingly complex community.

Through the leadership and generosity of Didi and I. Kingdon Hirsch, in 1974 we became one of the "rst federally approved community mental health centers in greater Los Angeles. With this designation came a commitment to o#er community education, clinic-based treatment and residential care to people of all ages. We subsequently were renamed to honor Didi Hirsch’s leadership in this expansion.

Today, we o#er a broad array of mental health and substance abuse services to more than 57,000 children, adults, older adults and families wherever they are needed—at our nine centers, in more than 25 schools, on Skid Row and beyond. The "rst in the nation, our Suicide Prevention Center has helped those in need for more than 50 years; as part of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network, our suicide crisis line answers the second-most calls in the nation.

Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services is a 501(c)(3) not-for pro"t organization. For information on contributions or estate planned giving, please call the Vice President of Development at (310) 751-5425 or email [email protected]
